On Maui's sunny south shore, is the romantic Honu’ea cottage, where quiet peaceful living is a way of life.

Honu’ea is perfect for honeymooners or couples just wanting a unique tranquil getaway. The cottage is located on an acre of landscaped grounds with an unobstructed beachfront view of the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from the front door you can take long walks on miles of uncrowded sandy beach.

Relaxing and comfortable cottage!

We enjoyed our week at the cottage. It was so nice to have our own private space. It was quiet and comfy with all the amenities you could possibly need. The view of the water from the patio was awesome and it was an easy little trail to get to the beach for a walk on the sand. We got to see a turtle resting our first day! The cottage was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, beach necessities and all our kitchen needs. We had easy access to all of Kihei and Wailea, a lot of things were in walking distance as well. Amber was easy to communicate with and quick to respond if we had questions. We highly recommend!

Honeymoon

My husband and i stayed here for our honeymoon and we didnt want to leave! The cottage looks exactly like the photos. The street is fairly quiet and you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We wanted something private and away from crowds of people and thats exactly what we got. We both highly recommend you book a stay here!!

Honeymoon stay!

This was perfect for everything my wife and I wanted for our honeymoon stay in beautiful Maui. The owners have many accommodations on the property that we felt went above and beyond expectation. The short walk to the beach was perfect for sunset viewing, hanging with the turtles, and more! Shops, restaurants, etc., are all within walking distance from the property and super convenient. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great cottage with great location

We really enjoyed our stay. Its a great cottage with a really good loacation. The view off the lanai is hard to beat! You could walk to several places if you wanted to. The small kitchen with washer/dryer came in very handy during our stay. The cottage is very quiet and we usually had the beach to ourselves except for the occasional walker by. You will need water shoes because of all the coral but can walk out rather far into the water if you do. If you want a bigger beach then Kamaole Beach is just a short drive away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we chose to stay in South Maui next time.

Perfect Balance

The comfort, view, and location of this cottage offered us the perfect vacation balance of relaxation and activity. Wake up to a beautiful water view, take your coffee to the deck, and enjoy the tropical setting. Grab a cooler, towels, chairs, and umbrella (all provided) and a 2 minute walk will set you up on a beautiful, quiet beach. Great dining and shopping are minutes away. (A couple of favorites - Nalu’s, Maui Pie, and a little further away, Mama’s Fish House - not to be missed.) Driving from this location to other towns and sites was even easier than expected. Our host was really on top of things - so kind, and always available. The cottage itself is set up beautifully, and is just as shown online. Quite comfortable and providing amenities that anticipate your needs. We look forward to returning sometime soon!

Captivating and serene beachside retreat

This breezy, private upper floor property was perfect for our 8 night stay. It is a cozy, spotless, well appointed one bedroom apartment with every amenity, including a BBQ & beach chairs. Located in a quiet walkable neighborhood, with direct beach access and wonderful views from the deck! Great airflow throughout the apartment as well, and fully screened so we barely used the available AC. This place is a gem. We are already planning our return!

Tropical Heaven

It was incredible. The view and uniqueness of this cottage and property are superb. My husband and I had never in our lives been to the islands until this stay. (10 day stay). We knew we wanted a quiet, non-resort property and this was perfect! Everything you could need or want is just a few minutes away by car. We even walked to a near-by restaurant which was wonderful! Sitting on the deck watching and hearing the gentle ocean waves and many birds was surreal. It was truly a vacation to remember forever. I thank you so much for this beautiful private paradise!!

Peaceful haven

The cottage was a perfect place for my husband and I to relax and unwind, even watch whales from the lanai! It really looks just like it does in the photos, gorgeous ocean views and on a peaceful street yet walking distance to restaurants and food trucks. The place was very well equipped, even providing beach chairs for our use. We hope we can return again one day!

This place was so quiet and beautiful. Saw turtles everyday right on the beach out back and whales all the time. The place was clean and so fun to stay at. The little deck has such a great view! We were right in the mix of all the fun things to do in Kihei and walked most evenings just to enjoy. We will come back! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Great Location - What is not to love!

We visited for our honeymoon and had a great time. Great location with an awesome view. A minute walk to the beach. If you visit, make sure to check out the beach at night as we found over 10 large turtles resting on the beach for the night. Bed was very comfortable. The place had plenty of space for two people. Location was fabulous. You are minutes away from lots of shopping and restaurants. If you are visiting, make sure to check out the food trucks on Alahele Pl. The location is also very private and did not feel touristy at all. The host was easy to communicate with and answered any questions quickly.

Wonderful

This was our first visit to Maui and this cottage was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Quiet, comfortable and tucked away. Bed was comfortable (for reference we sleep on a tempurpedic). I felt the cottage to be very neat and clean. Amber left a sweet little gift for us upon arrival. Also, had some cold waters in the fridge which we really appreciated because we arrived so late and didn’t have time to stop at the market. Views from the cottage were lovely. We walked the beach daily and took a dip a few of the days. Water is shallow but if you walk a little further down the beach you can find more swim-able depths. We saw turtles multiple days and even saw whales (ps we brought binoculars). Not sure why the other reviewer complained of the washer/ dryer. They worked well and weren’t especially noisy in my opinion. Plenty of glassware . We felt the couch to be comfortable for 2 people and enjoyed winding down with tv at night. This cottage created beautiful memories for us and we look forward to visiting again in the summer!
